Stored Messages?

#1867

Are received messages stored or logged someplace?

I just started participating in the APRSThursdays thing. When I send out my CQ, in the messages window I see messages pouring in. I don't always have a chance to look at them right away, but then they disappear a short time later.

Are these stored someplace so I can go back and look at them again in case there is something of interest or something I want to respond to?

If you have APRS logging enabled, all your received traffic will be recorded in the AX25rcvd* log files (transmitted packets are unconditionally logged in the AX25xmit* log files), and can be read from those files back into YAAC with the File->Load->APRS Packets menu choice. CSV-format logging can also be viewed in the spreadsheet program of your choice.

The expert-mode Configuration dialog also allows you to increase the retention interval for messages before they are purged from YAAC's in-memory tables, assuming you have enough Java heap memory available to hold the additional older traffic.

Hope this helps.

I tweaked the retention times so the messages show in the list for longer. However, after an amount of time, the text changes from black to a light blue that is almost impossible for me to read. I'm sure there is a setting or reason for this that escapes me right now. Is there a way to change the font color on these to something more readable? What time interval am I looking at for when the text changes color?

Thanks,

The graying out is to indicate a packet more than 80 minutes old (i.e., obsolete for a tactical network), per Bob Bruninga WA4APR's original design directives.. I'll add a feature to disable the graying out in the next build of YAAC.
